Turner believes the dislike for her character stems from the books the series is based on, the Song of Ice and Fire novels by George R R Martin. In the novels her character has a more pivotal role in the murder of her father, the much-loved Ned Stark.

Turner has since learned to take a different spin on the negative reactions. "[Sansa's] the least favourite in the books so I guess I'm doing my job if I'm the least favourite in the show," she said.

The highly anticipated series three airs in Australia on Monday, 1 April on Showcase.

Sansa's not my least favourite in the show... That honour has to go to Joffrey...

Joffrey can't be your least favourite character? He's a love to hate character - is one of the pivotal villains of the piece. My least favourites are those that are less distinct characters - Asha, the Reeds and Davos for example.

I don't like Ned Stark. Too much honor, not enough brain. Over confident. Naive when going against mighty powerful Lannisters. Left wife, kids, the whole Northern kingdom undefended. Robb was clearly not ready for the burden. The down fall of the North was all his fault.

Ned was doing his duty to his King, what else could he have done? He should however have taken Renly's advice and fled Kings Landing when he had the chance.
